Meet Optometrist Dr. Andrew Stone

Optometrist Dr. Andrew Stone

Andrew grew up in Springfield, Missouri. He was a little kid who wore glasses. Andrew was a young entrepreneur who at age 11 started a lawn mowing business and learned early in life the importance of customer satisfaction and a job well done.

Andrew graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in Nutrition and Fitness. During his undergraduate training, Andrew managed an eye care center with numerous responsibilities including frame selection and contact lens care.

He attended the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago where he was awarded his Doctor of Optometry degree. Dr. Stone is a member of the American Optometric Association, Missouri Optometric Association, Columbia Chamber of Commerce, Cherry Hill Business Association and Columbia Metro Rotary Club.

With his doctorate in optometry, Dr. Stone returned to the mid-Missouri area.

After working in several local clinics, he recognized the growing need in Columbia for highly personalized, professional, friendly service. He wanted to allow patients to be comfortable and to have access to the latest in eye care technology and designer eyewear. Andrew has a strong commitment to excellence in medical care, service, and product.

He has seen eye care from multiple perspectives and he still remembers what it is like to be a patient. Andrew’s life experiences have made him uniquely suited to bring his perspective to you.

• Testimonial

  Dr. Stone & Andrea,

  I was a patient of yours this month and I wanted to take the time to tell you how impressed I was with the treatment and the service I received at your office.

  I have never had such a wonderful experience with any other service professional. Dr. Stone was patient and extremely thorough in his exam and I honestly felt like he was genuinely interested in evaluating the problems I was having with my vision and finding the optimal solution. Andrea was extremely helpful and friendly in making sure that I was happy with my eyewear.

  I was treated with respect and felt like my appointment time (and even the time that I walked-in to pick up my glasses) was a priority to Andrea and Dr. Stone.

  I really appreciate your approach and consideration in providing a valuable service to the community. I love my glasses and intend on telling everyone I know what wonderful and attentive people work at Andrew Stone Optometry. Thank you!
